    • Welcome

    Welcome to the website of St Peter’s Cathedral, Adelaide.

    Advent 2, Sunday 8 December 2013

    Welcome:  There are those who reject the Old (First) Testament because of the perception that God is cruel and prone to violence, in comparison to the God of Love they find in the New. Today’s readings from Isaiah and Matthew seem to reverse that. In Isaiah 11 we have an extended metaphor of a land where God’s peace reigns supreme – the wolf and the lamb, the leopard and the kid, the child leading wild animals. By contrast, in Matthew’s Gospel we hear John the Baptist thundering on about the axe lying at the root of the trees, which are cut down if there is no fruit! Food for thought as we light the 2nd Advent candle – for peace.

    A special word of welcome to all cricket lovers today.  Enjoy this sacred space and pray for the Cathedral’s ministry as you watch the bowler approaching from ‘the Cathedral end’.

    Welcome to Sonny and Monty and their families as they come to be baptised, and to all who worship God today. May we be instruments of God’s peace.
